It sounds to me like you have been awarded an op up in advance. They likely thought they had 32 seats in the old config and now only have 26 seats. Why not keep the F seat, presumably you are in C coming back so you can experience both, assuming you are returning on the new config.

I'm confused. UA 952 reportedly left from gate D1 at 7:12pm.

Bon Voyage!
Ditto that! ^, Gene. Have a GREAT flight - you deserve it!
An aside: any current speculation or knowledge on whether this equipment will have a regular route? I'm looking to fly IAD-FRA in a few weeks and will obviously try to get on this aircraft if I can figure out which flight number(s) at that point.
